Small Grains Demonstration to Be
Conducted Near Bethlehem Church
A small grains demonstration
project for 1950-51 is being held
on the farm of Mr. J. W. Faison,
which is nine miles east of Raleigh
on the Poole Road. Go to the
Bethlehem Church where signs
will be erected to direct you to
the farm which is about one mile
from the church.
On Wednesday. November 1, a
harvesting, drying, and seeding
demonstration will be held on this
farm. A corn picking demonstra
tion will be held at 2:00 o’clock
p. m.
Approximately 1-3 of the small
grain production is planted fol
lowing a corn crop in N. C. Corn
harvest is relatively late and it
results in late seeding dates for
small grains on farms that practice
this rotation.
The Department of Agricultural
Engineering, N. C. State College,
now has sufficient information to
support the statement that farm
drying plants are practical and 1
useful on certain North Caro-
BuHdogs Meet Garner
Under Lights Tonight
The Wakelon Bulldogs face one
of their strongest gridiron oppo
nents tonight at 8:00 on the Wake
lon field, when they oppose Rock |
Brinkley’s Garner eleven. The
Bulldogs will be gunning for their
fifth victory of the 1950 season.
Although the single loss to Fu
quay Springs earlier in the sea
son eliminated the possibility of
a county football championship
for Wakelon, Coach Herb Ap
penzeller’s crew hopes for a high
position in the final standings.
The whole Wakelon first team
is expected to be in condition to
play tonight.
Electric Power to Be Interrupted
On Sunday for Line Repair Work
Electric power will be interrupt
ed in Wendell and vicinity, Mid
dlesex, Bailey and S'ms vicinity,
on Sunday, October 29, from 6:00
a. m. to 8:00 a. m. and 1:00 p. m.
to 3:00 p. m. in order for neces
sary repairs to be made, Ralph W.
Talton, manager of the Zebulon
district, announced this week.
During the past summer, light
ning strokes damaged the copper
line conductors in many places on
the main 66000 volt transmission
line between Zebulon and Ral
eigh. Repairs cannot be made
and in order to guard against un
expected outages, it will be neces
sary to have the power off for the
lina farms. From the agronomic
view, it seems desirable to demon
strate the farm drying of corn to
permit earlier corn harvests and
subsequent timely small grain
planting dates.
The average farm yields of small
grains in North Carolina are rela
tively low in contrast to the pro
duction that is possible, where
growers use seed of recommended
varieties and improved agronomic
practices.
Seed of improved, adapted small
grain varieties and results of
small grain investigations, partic
ularly with respect to fertility and
dates-of-planting, are now avail
able for N. C. farmers.
The next logical step in improv
ing the state-wide production of
small grains, is to conduct a small
grain field demonstration pro
gram where fields will be seeded
and managed by recommended
practices for farmers to observe
them.
These demonstrations are being
conducted by the County Farm
